Slice of Life - Day 136

Today was a great day! Slept in until around 10 then got up and took Kalli straight to the dog park for playtime. It was so hot out while we were there and I really enjoyed my chat with my little dog park social club :) Kalli found a new friend (Bentley) and they were attached at the hip the entire 2+ hours that we were there. We met a new puppy named Billie who is a Shepard X and is absolutely adorable! It was love at first sight for me. All of the usual suspects were there and both Kalli and I were sorry when it was time to leave. After this we went shopping for some food as we had arranged to have Chris, Brea and Kyah over for dinner... went and got some steaks, potatoes, corn, salad stuff and pie and then came home to get some yard work done. I mowed the front and back lawn, planted a few things, did some weeding and built a mini stone creek bed to the ditch for the driveway to drain into when it rains and then got dinner ready to go. After I got everything ready I had an hour to spare so went off with Gir to do my favorite thing - nap! Had a quick snooze and got up just in time to get the potatoes in the oven and finished making the salad right when B came home. Then Chris, Brea and Kyah arrived and we spent the rest of the night watching the puppies play and having good conversation with friends in my very pretty yard. Yet another awesome day!!

Slice of Life - Day 115

B and I were invited to Chris and Brea's house for a BBQ after work today. We took Kalli and had a very yummy dinner of barbecued steak, baked potatoes, corn, Caesar salad, garlic bread and blueberry pie for dessert! Good job Chris!! - and Brea for the dessert ;) The puppies had a lot of fun playing and B and I enjoyed it as well because we realized that we never really go to anyone else's house for dinner, we always have people here. Chris and Brea are good friends and it is a friendship that I am really thankful for. It is sort of like how people have friends and then have kids and start doing everything together and then their kids grow up together... except our kids are Kalli and Kyah :) Too cute... and funny!

Slice of Life - Day 96

So this seems to be turning into the "Kalli" photo blog... but hey she is a big part of our life and he walks take up a lot of our leisure time so I guess it is to be expected. Today's shots are partially from her first walk of the day at Dogwood Park where she took another mud bath to cool off and then some more from her second walk with her bff Kyah at the beach.

Slice of Life - Day 94

Today after work Becca, Mike and their dog Shelby came over to our place and we all went down to Semiahmoo Park to meet up with Brea, Chris and Kyah for a play/walk. We hung out in the park for a bit with a bunch of other dogs/puppies so that all the dogs had time to get a good play in and then went down to the beach side to play in the water. The tide was pretty far out so we ended up only playing in tide pools but it was fun anyway. It was fun watching them play together and see how the dynamics change with having three of them. Shelby is the old dog so the one that would teach the pups and she likes to chase and speaks to them a lot. She sounds so fierce but is actually a sweetie. Kalli gets jealous of other dogs playing with the dogs she wants to play with and will go off on her own to "sulk" if "her" dog is playing with someone else. Kyah likes everyone!

I like that all of us have dogs, its a fun little activity to do together!
